The project has been funded by the Australian and Western Australian governments through the National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality. Geoscience Australia and CSIRO were contracted to carry out the analysis and interpretation of the AEM dataset, and produce customised interpretation products.
Some of the more specific questions it was hoped to address included:
- Are we at risk of salinity in the Ord Catchment?
- If so what areas are at the greatest risk?
- Where can we target management to reduce this risk?
- How can we plan future development to minimise salinity risk and maximise longevity of projects?
The areas surveyed include the current Stage 1 Ord Irrigation Area, Stage 2 Irrigation Area (including Weaber and Knox Plains and Carlton Hill - Parry's Lagoon Conservation Area. The inclusion of undeveloped land in this survey is because the technology provides the opportunity to ensure any future irrigation development is guided by the best available information on soil type, aquifer quality and location and salinity risk.
The information generated by this project will be publicly available and can be used for such things as:
- Identifying leaky areas in the landscape that may require more concentrated management or can be designated for more suitable land use;
- Where salt is stored in the landscape and at what depth, and where in the landscape it may influence plant growth;
- Provide new constraints on the connectivity of aquifer systems in 3D across the ORIA and enable the construction of more realistic hydrogeological models to improve surface and groundwater management.Commonwealth of Australia (Geoscience Australia)ownerCommonwealth of Australia (Geoscience Australia)Manager Client Services02 6249 9966Cnr Jerrabomberra Ave and Hindmarsh Dr GPO Box 378CanberraACT2601Australiaclientservices@ga.gov.aucustodianunknownunknownunknownData PackageGeothematicGISthemeAEMthemegroundwaterthemehydrogeologythemeAU-WAEarth SciencesAustralian and New Zealand Standard Research Classification (ANZSRC)2008-03-31T00:00:00+11:00publicationAustralian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/Latestproducts/1297.0Main%20Features32008?opendocument&tabname=Summary&prodno=1297.0&issue=2008&num=&view=owner9780642483584licenselicenseCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licenceunclassifiedengutf8geoscientificInformationunknown128.169176129.078089-15.905638-15.356582Commonwealth of Australia (Geoscience Australia)02 6249 9966Cnr Jerrabomberra Ave and Hindmarsh DrGPO Box 378CanberraACT2601Australiasales@ga.gov.audistributor2009-09-28T00:09:00onLinehttp://www.ga.gov.au/metadata-gateway/metadata/record/69583/Related ProductLink to Related Product: Ord Valley AEM Interpretation Project - FINAL REPORTinformationhttp://www.ga.gov.au/metadata-gateway/metadata/record/69586/Related ProductLink to Related Product: Ord Valley AEM Interpretation Project - ATLAS of Carlton Hill and Parrys Lagooninformationhttp://www.ga.gov.au/metadata-gateway/metadata/record/69587/Related ProductLink to Related Product: Ord Valley AEM Interpretation Project - ATLAS Ord River Irrigation Area Phase 1informationhttp://www.ga.gov.au/metadata-gateway/metadata/record/69588/Related ProductLink to Related Product: Ord Valley AEM Interpretation Project - ATLAS of Weaber plains, Knox Plains and Keep Riverinformationhttp://www.ga.gov.au/metadata-gateway/metadata/record/69589/Related ProductLink to Related Product: Ord Valley AEM Interpretation Project - Atlas of Ord Valley Overviewinformationhttps://d28rz98at9flks.cloudfront.net/69585/ORD_GIS_1.zipFile downloadORD GIS Part 1downloadhttps://d28rz98at9flks.cloudfront.net/69585/ORD_GIS_2.zipFile downloadORD GIS Part 2downloadhttps://d28rz98at9flks.cloudfront.net/69585/ORD_GIS_LiDAR.zipFile downloadLidardownloadhttps://d28rz98at9flks.cloudfront.net/69585/ORD_GIS_AEM_ORTHO_orthophoto_shape.zipFile downloadShape Filesdownloadhttps://d28rz98at9flks.cloudfront.net/69585/ORD_GIS_AEM_ORTHO_mosaic_ord_river_west_mga52.zipFile downloadORD River West mosaicdownloadhttps://d28rz98at9flks.cloudfront.net/69585/ORD_GIS_AEM_ORTHO_mosaic_ord_river_east_mga52.zipFile downloadORD River East mosaicdownloadhttps://d28rz98at9flks.cloudfront.net/69585/ORD_GIS_AEM_ORTHO_2000m_035m_ecw_east.zipFile downloadORD River East Orthophotosdownloadhttps://d28rz98at9flks.cloudfront.net/69585/ORD_GIS_AEM_ORTHO_2000m_035m_ecw_west.zipFile downloadORD River West Orthophotosdownloadhttps://d28rz98at9flks.cloudfront.net/69585/ORD_GIS_AEM_ORTHO_AEM_data.zipFile downloadAEM DatadownloaddatasetUnknownSource data not available.unclassified
